SECTION TWO- Jl senator ,4 LENNON jgL ■ByBseftgEPORTS A ' In connection with this column* Senator Alton Lennon, has this to say: •This concludes the weekly Re port to the People which I have been mailing to you. I want to take this occasion to thank you for your splendid cooperation in this project in which I have at tempted to keep you, my readers, informed of the doings or the I Congress. Washington This concludes the series of weekly reports which have been carried on during this session of Congress. * Thanks I am indebted to the press of North Carolina for making possible this ef fort to give you my views and votes on legislative matters. I have tried at all times to keep the reports fair and non-partisan. Thank your news paper for this public service coopera tion. Right To Know You have a right to know what your public officials, at all levels, are doing. My thinking has always been that people in public office should fully co operate to keep the public informed., Democracy, it seems to me, rests on the principle of an enlightened citi zenry. We need to know all that we can about public issues and to do our own thinking. No man in public of-, flee today can escape the barbs of un fair criticism—due in most cases to the lack of information. While in the Senate, my position has been to arm myself with all the facts obtainable and then take a stand on an issue. Honest differences of opinion occur, but we need never fear honest differ-[ ences between reasonable people. Appraisal Perhaps by the time you have read this, Congress will have gone home. 1 This session has covered a great many issues that affect the welfare of our 1 State and Nation. Debate has been 1 rather hot on a number of issues, but ( the legislation has been hammered out on the anvil of lengthy debate and I| believe that some good has been ac complished. For example, I think that the feeling of Congress is more solidi-1 fled on the necessity of cutting waste-! ful foreign spending and forging more, economies in government. There are| many other issues that have impressed j me as being in the direction of more* of the middle-ground in Congressional, thinking on both sides of the aisle. Pressures Pressures from all sides are mount ing. It is, in my honest opinion, the cancer of our present great system of | democracy that selfish pressure groups j are springing up like mushrooms. In the eyes of some of these groups, a man is either a radical or a reaction ary. They do not seek the common good but only the selfish goals of' their groups. I have tried to stand up for the common good of our people who do not have articulate spokes men to champion their cause. Make no mistake about it, these pressures are driving sound thinking men from our government. In Conclusion In closing this series of reports, please pardon a personal reference. When Governor Uinstead named me to the Senate vacancy, I had no mis givings about the office. I knew that it would be a giant challenge to hold the seat.

No man can serve in the Senate of the United States without a feeling of gratitude for the opportun ity. This has been the finest experi ence of my life. When my term of office concludes this fall, I will return to my home in Wilmington with fond memories of all of the friends in I ■North Carolina and my colleagues in | the Senate. I can truthully say that you—the people of North Carolina— ■are the salt of the earth and the greatest constituents any person ever ; represented. It has been easy to stand up in your name in our nation’s capitol.

Excess Cotton Draws Marketing Penalty I North Carolina cotton farmers with “excess acres” were warned yesterday ■that any excess cotton produced this ■year will be subject to a marketing quota penalty of 17.5 cents per pound. 1 H. C. Blalock, state ASC specialist, said farmers are currently being noti fied of the measured acres of cotton j allotted for their farm. I Marketing cards, which certify that; the cotton produced from a farm is. free of marketing quota penalties, will 1 | not be issued for farms with “excess acres” until the marketing quota pen alty has been paid, said Blalock. The I penalty may be paid at the county jASC office in the county in which the 'cotton was produced. Unless the marketing quota penal- 1 “sr I i ! . ' [ Super P & Q Market |j ty on excess cotton has already been j paid, buyers will deduct a penalty of 17.5 cents for each pound of upland cotton marketed. Blalock emphasized that growers whose cotton acreage is within their acreage allotment are eligible for mar keting cards and can market penalty free all the cotton produced in 1954 if it is properly identified. Growers who are eligible for marketing cards wijl be mailed their cards before exten sive harvesting begins. I Minutes Os Board Os Public Works I : I Edenton, N. C., Aug. 3, 1954.
